IMPROVEMENT IN JETP-AT'I'.'.A.(`JI1IIMIE1NTSy FO SODA-FOUNTAINS.

The Schedule refened 'co in these Letters-Patent and making `pari: of the same;

'had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Which-f- Figure l is a plan lev of my improved attachment. 1 Figure 2 is a detli section of the same through a'.

similar letters' of ferment@ indicate like para. The object of this invention is to provide an attacllment for soda-Water fountains, whereby a jet of Witter will be made to play upon each of the nozzles of the `eirupJnnlt cocks, (which form a part ofthe fountainapparatus as generally constructed,) and cleansethe said nozzles from any adherent drops of sirup, thus preventing the obstruction of the same by the saccharine matter of the syrup collecting thereon.

It Consists in the construction of the drain-tablet on which the glasses are placed for filling With the bever- Hage; which said construction is hereinafter .fully set In the drawings, the drain-tablet is' composed of a plate of metal, glass, or 'glass backed by metal or any other suitable material. and bordered by a pipe or tube,

B, having a series of jet-tubes, a c a', 85o., aiiixed to the upper side of that part of the pipe which is immediately adjacent to the front of the soda-fountain C, as shown at iig. 2. l

' These jet-tubes re bent so as to direct a small jet of water directly upon each of the Sirup-cocks.

The border-pipe rises somewhat above the plane of the part A of the tablet, so as to conduct the water to the drain-pipe l), located at one corner.

The pipe B is connected with any water-pipe, d, by means of a union jointor other suitable coupling.

In operation, a small jet of Water is constantly playing upon each Sirup-cock, except when the jet is deflected by encountering thel bottoln of the tumbler when thrust under the cock to receive a-quantity of slrup.

Having tllns described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentl An attachment for soda-Water fountains, when constructed of a plane surface, A, having a border-pipe, B, provided 'with jet-tubes, a c a, Sto., drain-pipe b, and

supplyfpipe d, allI substantially as and for thevpurpose set forth.
